But why would anyone choose to trade a 3-star+ guy for an unwanted bench player? Salaries likely wouldn’t even match either.


tanking teams have been doing that. people want to unload big salaries.

But how you gonna match the big salary without parting with one of your own expensive 3-star guys when you have no cap space?

Might be bad news for GMs with full rosters and EL situations.


2020: We must protect our players, shut the league down, and form a bubble.
2022: Eh. **** it. There are more players out there, right?

With new strains showing up, a lot of experts predicted a tough winter for COVID.

I'm stuck at home with my GF for Christmas. She had to cancel on her family and were getting tested Wednesday or Thursday to make sure we can show up to my mom's house.

I don't think so. Not that we are made aware of. But I have heard some players start playing better. An example would be if Sexton goes from his current .400 FG% to what it should be in the .450 or higher range.

For me this is what makes the SIM so hard. Its the guessing that we know what the developers are thinking. At least with regular updates those guesses could be more accurate.

Young guys develop. Bish will not let you know the updated ratings though. Im assuming that Ben and Moses will be 3 and 4 stars by the end of the year though (for example)

1st year players hardly ever develop overnight in one season lol. It takes at least 3 years for most rookies to start hitting their strides. It sounds like the SIM Developers think every draft class is the 2018 draft class ( top 5 to 6 players get auto 3 star ratings or something ); which is ridiculous in no uncertain terms....

i'll put a 3 star, with a any of my 2.5/2 star and a pick for 3.5+. i don't mind.

but it has been a bit of a struggle, trying to match salaries.

I have no idea how I beat Houston with these shooting splits. 31.8/24.3/56.3

Both teams and the SIM should be ashamed of themselves....

From what I can find out, that is the 7th most in a game in NBA History.
